NOT YET SETTLED.
A Good Deal of Trouble Growing Out of a
Rather Small Matter.

A Good Deal of Trouble Growing Out of a
Rather Small Matter.
The trouble between the contractor on
Lange's new buildings on Main street, and
the bricklayers and stOnemasOns, mention
ed in yesterday mornings REGISTER, does
not seem to be settled yet. The stonema.
sons claim that Mr.. J. H. Rosenberg, the
contractor, employed non-union men to
shape out some small brown stone caps
which are to be placed in the Water aud
Main street fronts of the building, and the
masons refused To set them and the brick
layers to lay brick on them. A meeting
thought the matter was adjusted, hut the
men only agreed to return to work on the
side walls, with which the stone caps have
no connection as yet However, this can
only last for few days. at which time it
will he necessary to work on the fronts Of
the building, when the men claim they
will quit.
A bricklayer was seen yesterday and he
said;
I'VE will refuse to have anything to
do with the work turned out by Mr.. Rosen-
berg, and shall demand that Mr.. Lange
have the stones redreSsed under another
contractor before we will touch them. A
meeting OF the stone masOns is 10 he held
Wednesday evening when further action
will be taken regarding the matter"
Mr.. Rosenberg was also seen aud his
statement was the same as that of yester-
day, when he said: 81 was under the i'm
preston that the men Iemployed to work
upon the stones were union men, and
had offered two union men work previous
to employing those against whom the kick
is made, but they disappointed me, and |
was compelled to do the best could. "
Something may be done at tO-night'3
meeting TO settle the trouble, and it is
hoped that such will he the case.

A STOLEN COAT,

And How the Owner Ran Down the Pur-
loiners.
Yesterday afternoon Willie Windsor, the
REGISTERS efficient mail boy, was robbed
OF bran new coat, which he recovered by
clever piece of detective work. About
five o'clock while he was absent from the
press room, where he left his coat, two
tramps entered and captured it, but were
seen to leave, one having package under
his arm. When Willie returned he found
the coat missing, and Immediately began
to look around for it.
He got on to description Of the two
tramps, and was soon hustling around
town looking for their trail. He appointed
several deputies and all of them started
out in the search. Pretty soon they ran
their men down and followed them to MIR.
Pfefierman's place on Market street, where
they attempted 10 pawn coat. Willie
caught sight ofthe coat ana remarked that II
was his'n." Then one of its deputies
went in, laid his hand on the tramp's
shoulder and informed him that he was
under arrest. The chap Immediately
weakened and both plead so earnestly for
mercy, and Willie was so glad TO get his
coat back that he allowed them to go. He
thinks of giving up his ambition to become
great base ballist, and 60 into the detec-
tive line.

An Interesting Case Before Justice Arkle
Yesterday Afternoon.

An Interesting Case Before Justice ArkIe
Yesterday Afternoon.
The adultery cases of the State v. George
Layton and State v. Elizabeth Staley were
heard before Justice Ralph Arkle yester-
day afternoon in the presence Of quite a
crowd of interested spectators. The par
ties belong in the neighborhOOd of Elm
Grove, and the arrests were made about
midnight Monday night by Constable VIII
cox, who lodged the prisoners in jail.
The evidence adduced showed that
both the defendants had been mar
ried, but that Mrs Staley had
left her husband and Layton his wife.
Both had been seen together at Mrs.
Staley's house, ON the line of the railroad,
and witnesses testified TO the current ru-
NOR that the two were living together.
The testimony, however, was not startling
enough to knock man down. The testi.
mony of the defendants was rather in favor
of their innocence.
Upon the conclusion of the hearing the
Court assessed fine Of $50 upon each OF
the defendants, but suspended the sent
ence for ten days

4 PLEASED AUDIENCE

Spends an Evening With the Pugilists and
Is Highly Entertained.
Quite good sized audience Of men and
boys assembled at the Opera House last
evening to witness the performance given
by r. K. Fox's Athletic and Speciality
company. Had others known it was to
be such a Greditable performance as it
turned out to be, no doubt the house would
have been crowded. The Crib Family"
was the title of sketch, which introduced
the performers in their various roles.
Miss Clara Franklin, in her songs
was very pleasing, and she was
followed by four round set-tO with soft
gloves by the featherweights, Joe Ridge
and Willie Clark, which was without
much interest. Edw. Martin and Rose
Lonsdale in their sketch, Patchwork"
we're good. Then came another four round
contest between Pat Terrell and Jack FO-
garty, two well put up men of about the
same size, and before they were through
they gave the audience q picnic. The
first round passed off nicely, but in the
second the men got warmed up and Fer
rell got in a backhander on Fogarty's
mouth, which knocked him fiat on the stage.
When FOgarty got up there was blood in
his eve and he seized the first chance, and
gave Farrall whack ON the probocis that
brought the claret in fine shape. Then
they both went Mt it in earnest, becoming
locked and punching each other right up
to the dot. The audience raised in their
seats and howled with delight. Master of
Ceremonies Billy Madden shouted break
away at the top of his lungs, all the other
performers came out and Charlie Mitchell
urged him to "let them have II out" which
was echoed by the audience.
But the men were parted by time being
called. Everybody expected to see them
go of" again in the next two rounds,
but they were disappointed. The four
rounds betwee Young Hilferty, who was
thin, lOng-armed man, and Reddy CALI
CHER, heavy set exponent, was also very
exciting and brought forth rounds of APP
plauSe.
The Stewards, Hattie and Dick, INDUCED
in q three-round contest, and Hattie
brought down the house by the way in
which she knocked her opponent about the
stage. Miss Amy Nelson and Miss Hilda
Thomas won the plsndits of the audience
in their songs, the latter lady being espec-
tally fine, having to answer three recalls.
Shelter and Blakely, the dialect team, was
also good. The performance concluded
with four rounds between Jake Kilrain
and Charley Mitchell, which was a fine ex-
hibition OF spaFring, and was freely ap-
plauded. The audience left nightly pleased.

Why did they not demand an apology

An Angry Voice from Benwood.

vm BENwOOD, w. VA, June Il.
To the Editor Of the Register.
SIR:-In reading the editorial OF the
InteIligencer upon the presence Ofthe Pres
ident of the United States at the reunion,
it seems very much to me as though it was
trying to cover up it's tracks Having al
lowed one of its subordinates to send the
dispatch to the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette, it laid back to see what the effect
would be; now having seen the effect in
the storm of indignation from all cOnserv-
alive, right-minded people, and denial
from every member Of the committee, IT
seeks to throw the blame on the REGISTER,
and asks what the Mayor has got to do
with it more than any other citizen, and
then goes into rigmarOle about dinner
party, and an insuperahle barrier between
the President and the eX-sOldiers.
Now in the first place, the Mayor as the
representative of the City of Wheeling and
her chief officer, certainly has right to
see that she does not insult the Demo-
cratic party in the party in the person of
the President, and second, if the Mayor
made dinner party and part of his guests
should insist upon insulting any other
guest he held in high esteem, he certainly
would have the right to repudiate the in
sulEand insulters.
As for the 'inseperable barrier" be-
tween the President and the men who
served in the Union ranks, what is it2
The RteRigencer certainly forgets that
thousands and thousands of Democrats
served in those ranks, and thousands Of
them voted for President Cleveland Your
SELF Mr. Editor, if have been rightly
informed, were among the first who
responded to the call of President Lincoln
for troops, aud served during the whole
war, while the editor of the IRteHigeReer
staying comfortably away, waxing great in
strength to fight the blOOdleSs battles of
the tay-at-hOmes.
The IRtelhgeRccr says the reunion is not
a partizan affair and neither it is, but that
it is not partizau, is no fault of the IRtelli-
gsncer, rs it certainly is doing its best to
stir up strife and insult its Democratic pa
irons. 4 CITIZEN OF MARSHALL Co.
